At our school we hold alot of events for our students. We hold drag races for them, rent out a gocart track and have alot of volenteering opertunities for them.
That doesn't surprise me. Many times "younger" people think they are too cool for events such as this. Older crowds just want to enjoy themselves and others and don't worry about what others think. That's one thing I admire about "seasoned" folks.
This is a great way to gain back lost students as well! Inviting those students may assist in re-enrollments!
I'll bet the car show is a hit. Good for you... any activities to keep the vision alive and to cause engagement with the school is a tool for retention.

We have annual student car show and cook out it is always alot of fun and I beleive it helps with student retention.
